Hawaii

The most remote inhabited archipelago on Earth, Hawaii is exotic, diverse, and one of the world's most popular tropical destinations know for almost perfect year-round weather, seldom below 72 or above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Seven inhabited islands- Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Molokai, the Big Island of Hawaii, Lanai and Niihau-stand, peaks of ancient volcanic sea mounts in the North Pacific in the Tropic of Cancer, 1700 miles above the Equator. The world's longest island chain stretches 1,305 miles from South Point (the southernmost pont of the United States) on the Big Island of Hawaii, to Kure Atoll, in the uninhabited Northwest islands now a marine preserve. The islands claim other superlatives including Mauna Kea, tallest mountain on earth; Haleakala, biggest dormant volcano; Waialeale, wettest spot on earth; and Kilauea, most active volcano on the planet. More than 1 million people live in Honolulu, the beach city on Oahu, that's the state capitol, and most visitors arrive at Honoluolu International Airport although the outer islands now have direct flights from the US West Coast and Japan.
